Yeah... This has been changed now. If you don't want to see this anymore, download the BlastBands EA again from the website.

I have around 20 EA's that use the RMI indicator in different ways. This is NOT the same as the RMI V7. Not even close! You can easily see this just by looking at the BlastBands EA Manual

Cubby: Not a good start with your newest version 4.0. Over a 13 percent draw down on day 1 with only .57 percent gain on the day. Poor risk reward. I think before you put out new versions you should forward test for a month.Back tests are useless especially with multiple pairs.

I know this is easily my best version yet! No doubt in my mind about that!
Is this the best I have to offer? Right now it is but it doesn't mean I can't create something even better in the future.

Ok....

People forget how long I've been trading for. It's been 13 years. I know when I have something and this is it, 100%. My EA's are built to handle a lot of negative price action. Think of it like this...I have my EA's built so they can turn bad trades (today) into good ones. We will have plenty of good weeks with DD no larger than -1% with profit of up to +5%. This is the nature of trading. It's impossible to expect no DD with straight profit every week. Every market week is different!

It's unfortunate this was your first day but this was only -13% DD. Not the end of the world. We will have more DD at times and it may even go higher. Our loss cutoff of -35% doesn't get hit very often but it will get hit at some point. This is why it's there... To protect us.

I ask you to be patient. This is trading.

Yeah it sounds unfortunate, but how can you just say on day 1 it's a poor risk/reward ratio? You can't, and need to give it a chance, this counts for ALMOST ANYTHING in trading.

I don't think that using 90% modelling is a sound basis for optimism.
Using a 2 pip spread with Dukascopy tickdata and Tickstory for 99.9% modelling, of the four pairs I've tested so far for one year producing 700+ to 800+ trades each only EURGBP has returned a small profit, the overall result being a 35% loss. See results attached.

Here is AUDUSD, the fifth of the five pairs with the lowest spread from my broker. A loss here too, I'm sorry to say.

There is absolutely NO difference using 90% modeling quality to 99.99%! Backtests are still only hypothetical no matter how accurate they actually are!

Also, 2 pips is my maximum spread I've allowed the EA to take. You think this is fair to test the EA with it's maximum available spread limit? It's stated in the manual to use an ECN account. ECN accounts have spreads that range from 0.0-0.5 pips 90% of the time. The only time they typically increase is on holiday's and for 15-30 minutes each day on day change over.

Using 2 pips is NOT an accurate representation of how my EA performs. I ran my tests with a 0.5 pip spread as the market is under this most of the time. This a a better representation of actual trading....

The EA doesn't trade the AUDUSD very well in general. This is why I recommend people back-test and demo test so they can find what pairs work best for them and their broker

I cannot understand how you can claim that there's no difference between 90% and 99.99% modelling when there clearly must be; 9.99% to be precise. Can you reference articles that back-up your assertion as all those that I have read emphasis that 90% modelling is very inaccurate, particular with the lower time frames where tick data that is not actual tick data is synthesised introducing even more inaccuracy. What is your data source and methodology for backtesting?

I don't know what the graph in your last post is of as it's not one of those in the attached zip file?

The MT4 backtester doesn't accept 0.5 spread which would explain why your reports show the spread as 5. I was trying to improve on your results by using 2 in my backtests but didn't take shortcuts with data and modelling and thus produced the results I have posted.

You recommended that we backtest but seem irritated that I have; sorry about that, I'm just stating facts, not making anything up.

It's obvious we both don't know everything about the MT4 software. You CAN use a spread of 0.50 pips and have proof it can be done!

Of course there's a difference when it comes to the numbers but there is a difference at EVERY broker used! The 9.99% difference doesn't matter and here's why...

EVERY broker has a slightly different price feed, different execution, different fees and so on and so forth. Using a 99.99% backtest to me, is just like adding another broker to be compared to the list. For example, comparing TradersWay vs LQDFX.com in a back-test will bring different results because the brokers price feeds are different to say the least. This is even with making all the EA options the same including the used spread. The same EA will give different results at each broker no matter if it's a 90% back-test or a 99.99% back-test. You see my point here?

When it comes down to it, this 9.99% back-test difference is massively overrated. It's a guaranteed fact that the EA would forward test the same time length/period you did in the test VERY differently because of the variable ECN spread, commission, price execution speed and the use of the included Manage_profit_EA. The EA would trade EVERY broker differently.
